Astros VS Reds Condensed Game 9/4/24

earners have lost 13 of their last 15 Road games including one and four on this current trip they are halfway through a 10 game Road Trip Jose hits a Fly ball to left field sending Spencer steer back he's got room in front of the warning track and puts it away for the first down and he gets y on chasing a change up down that'll be the first strike out for Martinez and second out of the inning there's a fast ball up and a good start to this one for Nick Martinez going one two three changes angles it doesn't go straight across the strike zone here's the lineup for the Reds Jonathan India leading offense Spencer steer and left High France the first baseman this ball hit well into center field sending Chaz McCormack all the way back and that will be a leadoff home run for Jonathan India India's 11th career leadoff home run second most in Red's history behind Pete Rose breaking a tie with Cal Daniels in that category yeah he got something in the middle of the strike zone there obviously um and sometimes when you miss and you miss in the middle of the pl those kind of things can happen yeah a one pitch you set up outside uh and you end up letting the fast ball leak back to the middle uh those kind of things can happen pretty good teams too this ball looped in the left center field McCormick is going to make a diving attempt and it's past him yordan will try and track it down and get it back in DEA Cruz flies into second backto back extra base hit ground ball De La Cruz is going to try to get to third py will look at third base and realizes only plays the first so that'll be in play and that's going to be the third hit of the inning the Reds in front two to nothing TJ Fredo on an 02 pitch sends one into left center field third extra base hit of the inning uh that one was a way to let him get the ball out over this one in the air yordon Alvarez has it that was hit hard by steer but right at the Astros left fielder for the second out as Spencer Eric Getty got out on the links as well yesterday that ball was hit hard for a base hit France is now five for five in this series against the Astros and it's 3 nothing Cincinnati so the American League rookie of the month in August is not starting out September the same way but it is a thing that'll be a five pitch walk as fry draws a walk Santiago espanol oh Runners going and that's going to be a double steal into third TI France into second Jakey dropping two out of three to Oakland and three out of four to Milwaukee and now espol is going to head to first to load the bases an 02 count to Amed Rosario hit sharply but pass Jeremy pñ into center field two runs are going to score Chaz McCormack comes in and will underhand it back to Peña that was sharply hit but a ball that Jeremy would like to have another shot at things just not working for Spencer arag Getti today you can sense his frustration really couple of months big chop to First over the head of den zenzo into right field two more runs are going to score it's a seven-run first inning for the Reds and that's going to be the end of the getting a Dugout oh God ell de Cruz takes off a called strike that's Ellie de la Cruz's first stolen base in his last 10 games now there's recourse for guys to look at it again that ball is going to be through the middle in a couple more runs it is a nine run first inning as Tyler Stevenson singles home two [Applause] more that's hit sharply but right at Jose Altuve who has it on one hop and finally gets out of this disaster of a first inning few boxes before he gets back out there this ball into right field and that is going to be down for a hit bregman is going to head to second base with a double here as the Astros start the second inning with a leadoff double the plate they call you strike back in the strike zone and that's a strike yeah that changes the sure does complexion of the inning that's the first out here jemy Sky one in left center field TJ Fredo the center fielder underneath it that's the second out of the inning C went there you go Loops one into right Astros on the board they're down by eight now Ben gaml knocks in a run that's his fourth RBI as an Astro and it scores Alex bregman it's now 9 to one state short stop Zack disenzo playing in ciny for the first time and he Loops one to Center caught by Fredo for the final out next trying to do that we're doing that tomorrow the next starter oops that Ball's crushed to left field y on going back though has a play and this is in play Spencer steer hits one another one six for six no Peña makes a great play oh denzo can't come up with it at first base that was a great Try by Jeremy that ball in the air to center field playable for Chaz McCormick it'll be out number two that'll be Ball fourth that'll be the fourth walk Allowed by Astros pitching and the Reds have two Runners on everything and Know Who You Are into right field playable for Ben gaml that'll do it for the Reds in the second one hit one walk two left we're through two and Chaz grounds one to deep third long throw and not in time it was picked by Ty France but Chaz just beating the throw there's a rattle around it all his moving right there he kind of after review the call in the field is overturned Runner is out Cincinnati retains his challenge that's great so what I was saying on that play is if you're in the penet chase o altu reaches out and hooks one into left field that'll be down for a hit altu will look at second but hold up with a single Jose has his first hit of the series he's a one out base runner here's yordon that's get that gets away and Altuve will move to scoring position on the wild pitch so the Astros trying to chip away here down by eight that's getting away again and Altuve takes advantage with another 90 ft yon just licks his chops cuz he can get RBI right here around him here 3-1 oh he did get a pitch popped it up not sure that's going to score Altuve because Indie is back and makes the catch Jose begins to trot down the line but he's not heading anywhere so that that one's down and Away ball four so the as with Runners on the corners now with two outs and Ali in particular they're I they're sponsor so we really like those this one pop in the shallow left playable ell De La Cruz will call off Santiago espanol that'll do it and he enjoys it so I love people I love guys like that and I love playing with du because he's such a good dude Astros get their first strike out there we go there's a pretty good five that played here 2-1 pitches roped in the right field that's going to be extra base hit as d Cruz in the second basee pretty good play by gam to make it close ell de Cruz being the fifth that ball hit well on the right center field that'll be down for a hit D Cruz will be waved around he is going to score and the reds are in double figures with 10 runs Stevenson knocks in his third run of the game yeah 57 pigeoning wow Line Drive Des zenzo catches it gets to the bag the longest outing out of the pen this year Enterprise public spirit what was her name Cincinnati she stands for an admiring world there's a ball into the Gap and left center field lost their control up here Victor kartini has himself a double to lead off the top half for the fourth inning yeah sorry two two pitch there we go that's hit hard to right field but it's going to hold up for Fredo ah kartini does not tag up and stays at second basee that'll be strike three on the inside Corner as Martinez picks up his second strike out both of them have been looking and Zach goes down on strikes there's that change up again first swinging strike out for Martinez his third strikeout in the game hit a homer off of him in low at a game in Dayton Ohio and he never forgot about it so hoping to get him back for that one and he did that's a big memory right yeah that's a good memory this ball grounded oh my goodness this guy's going to be on base every time he swings the bat against the I mean they're hitting it to our two best defenders and we still can't get him out should it off but he he could do everything he was such a good short stop ball hit pretty hard Chaz On The Run makes a diving catch Chaz McCormick takes one away from Jakey going to get Chance oh out oh my God we forgot that we were playing behind there on a 3-2 count [Music] it's not going to cost the Astros as this Ball's popped up and Zack Den zenzo in foul territory will put it away for the final out getting a chance to play while Jake Meers is away from the team and with more on that we'll send it down to Lauren yeah well as we know TK all right 10 slowly hit up the middle dor Cruz is going to get the out at second as he beat Chaz to the bag uh on and off the field he's just it's a great human being that was a weird looking baseball that queued off the end of his Bat and that'll be a double play we'll see how Joe handles the rest of the way this is a high Chopper and a tough test for duban on his first play and that gets past Mauricio so Mauricio came out of the Dugout late didn't even have a chance to field any you got everything he goes don't worry bagy I got you and wouldn't you know it like you blumie talks about it all the time the ball finds you where you didn't have a quality of back has he lined out swing and a miss and there's a strikeout for Forest Whitley of Ellie D Cruz that'll be forest's first strike out of the night to Stevenson and checks his swing on a pitch up no he goes too far Forest Whitley back-to-back strikeouts getting D La Cruz and Tyler Stevenson a two- count here on fredle trying to work around an error to start the inning and that'll be a base hit to center field to score another Cincinnati run coming around is Ahmed Rosario who reached on that eror I mean I don't know how many hits this kid has had but he's kind of irritating too Fredo yeah this say umpires are still graded just like they are if it's a scoreless game hey disenzo a short hop have to make the throw to first and it's not in time and coming around third is going to be India to score a run just that was incredible whoa Bo bounces watch this oh that one bounced off of it did kartini and came back to the pitcher or has a hit against three different pitchers tonight and a ground ball chopped towards duban Ty France is retired list of players that have come through Cincinnati Through The Years Johnny Bench one of the best Yer Diaz grounds one to Third and it's not picked by Ty France on a low throw so Yer Diaz is going to reach John doesn't like the call but he's down on strikes that'll be four strikeouts for Martinez three of them have been called third strike tomorrow's broadcast Victor kartini takes a pitch that is a called third strike as four of the five strikeouts for Martinez are called third strikes that was funny Jonathan India right before that pitch took a step and a half towards the second base bag and then he hits it to his right I mean he wasn't going to make the play either way nine is a starter but tonight he's limited the Astros to a run on five hits that'll be Ball Four that might be the end of the night they're in the big leagues man and playing in a big Stadium there you go there's a knock to RBI base the Ohio State Buckeye playing here in Cincinnati picks up a two RBI knock and now makes it a 12 to3 game his parents be happy about that round out in a walk so far tonight and he chops this one into left field for a base hit McCormick with an RBI single the Astros now down by 812 to4 you know this under it center field hit it pretty well but fredle has a play and puts it away for the final out of the inning he's gr he's a grinder no and he's the best but so are you that's nobody's catching that one that's tough play for anyone to catch Chaz will watch it bounce and that'll be a double for Jake Frey so Jake fry has his first hit of the night the Reds now up to 14 hits me that has got a shot to make a starting the postseason for sure he does coming off that month of August today not withstanding you wouldn't say he would deserve a start based off today but that month of August was pretty special oh look at you this ball is short they can get the runner and they do fry not a wise trying to advance there tupan takes advantage with an easy assist to Third Base how do we catch them swing and a foul tip caught by kartini and that'll do it for the Reds in the seventh inning I don't know maybe they had plans to have a museum I don't know new role for Jason Hayward he used to be the guy that would be taken out in Big L side of games now he comes in especially Ken Ked a little Chopper to sh we have all kinds of changes on the infield that's Noel V Marte making that play for the that happened that's the question at least oh that falls hit well John Singleton ties his career high with his 13th home run of the season Big John getting number 13 here in Cincinnati makes it a 12 to5 game that's the Astros first home run of the [Applause] series hit 13 bombs in his rookie season in 2014 now here he is 10 years later doing the same good for your it's good swing right here [Applause] [Music] follow up with which is terrible that'll be a strike out to end the inning but a home run by John Singleton makes it a 125 game and ties his career high oh yeah oh no I'd say in the last two three years right shot Major League Baseball trying to take over and tell you who you can play and who you can't play all right to one and they scored three in the six and one in the seven so now it's 12 to five too close Chaz McCormack waits for that fly ball off the bat of will Benson to come down and puts it away for out number two swinging a miss good inning for Hector and we head to the eighth inning roster they would have to go let's see else you become the losingest team ever I think the Mets only played 160 that year I think they're 40 and 120 gamble on to center field out number two likes to go quick and get hitters off balance like that that's a strike out that did something for the fans cuz they pitches so he'll be down a couple of days and they had Forest whitly thrown inning at 2/3 this ball played by wickom off the bat of Spencer steer and Presley has one out the two young kids grow here are the reason the Astros have come from 10 games back to six games ahead and six and a half when today's start came in the first inning all charged to Spencer arti this one lobed into left field long run for gaml he'll get there and put it away and we're going to head to the ninth St to that fan celebrating here in Cincinnati Chaz is having himself a nice game Chaz McCormack on base for the third straight time Bo Chaz drew a walk drove in a run his last time up and now a lead off single in the n Only Jonathan indot second and Luke fley excuse me Jake fley and Wright the only two guys who started their current spots where they're playing and a Red's night all the way through as Hayward strikes out for the second out has it's one two count and that'll do it so This Night mercely comes to an end for the Astros it was ugly early and didn't get much better as the night went along the Reds have defeated the Astros eight straight times Houston's last win against Cincinnati came in 2016 the only team they haven't beaten in the Golden Era hopefully that Chang ches tomorrow with Hunter Brown on the mound but for now the Astros will lost both games in this series and drop this series to the Reds tonight's final 12 to 5 coming up it'll be the Astros postgame show it'll be Kevin ech Felder Brian bogusevic they'll be your host we'll have Lauren CER getting interviews in the Astros Clubhouse Astros postgame show presented by W bger starts next
